VT3 Edit content directory , portability ?

[tajino]

Is there a way to set content directory in VT3 edit?

:confused: here is the situation, i've my videos and edit project in one folder in my V drive, and when i moved them into my X drive, and load up the TED project, everything turns red (missing file links).

this thing really pisses me off, till i ended up frustrated and have to edit the binary file of the TEd project and replace the V:\ with X:
\, such a lousy solution. i hate it!!

any other better solutions to this problem? Spreadsheet i don't want that.

or maybe Newtek should introduce content directory in VT3 like how lightwave has.

or why not make the Ted project file in plain text format, so we can edit it in any text editing? i don't understand why is TED project not a plain text.

Well, Spreadsheet actually IS the answer, Tajino.
If you look at your project in Spreadsheet view, and shift-click the path of all the clips you wish to change, you can re-assign it, and when you hit enter, ALL the clips will update to that path.
